Benefits of the MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T
The MAGNETOM Aera offers doctors an array of diagnostic possibilities and provides patients with a more comfortable experience.
Like all MRI’s the MAGNETOM Aera uses magnets that are measured in Tesla (T) to acquire images. At 1.5T, the MAGETOM Aera offers superb image quality that may be used for a wide range of medical needs – from orthopedic and sports- related injuries to breast cancer testing – and can help physicians make quicker, more accurate diagnoses.
The MAGNETOM Aera boasts a 70 cm open bore – the tube-like structure of an MRI machine, where the patient lies during the imaging process – and can provide access for obese patients of up to 550 pounds. Additionally, the system’s ultra-short bore (145 cm) can help to alleviate concerns of claustrophobic since many exams can be performed with the patient’s head outside of the bore.
Another patient-friendly feature includes mood lighting on the system, which can help create a calming environment for patients in the examination room.(Note: Only use the previous sentence in your press release if you have purchased the mood lighting option.)
The system is equipped with two exclusiveSiemens technologies: Tim™ 4G and Dot (Day optimizing throughput). The combination of Tim and Dot improves the entire MRI workflow and delivers patient-centered care. The results are faster, more comfortable exams for patients.
